Candlemark & Gleam Acquires Susan Jane Bigelow’s THE SEEKER STAR

Candlemark & Gleam has acquiredThe Seeker Star by Susan Jane Bigelow. The Seeker Star is the second book in Susan’s Grayline Sisters series, following The Daughter Star.

Here’s the description of The Seeker Star:

Find your sisters, Violet.

So said Aunt Melody, but Violet Grayline knew it was impossible. Marta and Beth had disappeared at the end of the Haven War, leaving their middle sister alone in their harsh homeland of Gideon. No one knows where they went, there’s no trail to follow, and Violet keeps getting warnings to forget all about it.

Violet’s going after them anyway. She won’t let threats, the meddling of the alien Abrax, strange portals to other worlds or even her own planet’s government stop her.

After all, what does she have to lose? Her husband didn’t want her, her country turned its back on her, and everyone seems convinced that she’s nobody.

But if there’s one thing governments, generals, aliens and priests will learn, it’s to never, ever underestimate Violet Grayline.

If Frodo is the Lord of the Ring, maybe Peter Jackson is the Lord of Erring? I know, bad pun... Sorry. I need to thank Laura for that article, you might even call her Lady of the Link? Ugh, I need to stop...
